| Discussion Board | We will use a Piazza discussion group for non-personal communications. Note: If students have privacy concerns about the use of Piazza, let me (instructor) know and we will consider an alternative. Piazza is hosted outside Canada, thus if you use the current setup we will proceed on the assumption that you do not object to Piazza potentially identifying you personally, and that you are consenting to the storage of personal information on Piazza servers outside Canada |
| Weekly Quizzes | The course will have weekly quizzes which will be posted on our Canvas page. The questions for the quizes will be selected among the review questions submitted by the students the week before. The deadline for submitting questions (via Piazza cpsc424.) is Monday noon. The deadline for answering the quizes is Friday noon. |
| Midterms | (Tentative) February 5, 2025 and March 17, 2025 |
